Hello Nurmom, I am a mother of 4 - I am married with a very supportive husband and family. Frontier is more economically suited price wise, their curriculum is out of this world. There is a nurse that works at the hospital that attends Frontier and she works PT but attends school FT. I have heard nothing but great things about their program. I suggest looking at their web site:) I like the personal feeling when I call or email the registrar. Yes, I have kept in close contact- I graduate with my BSN in June 10 - Frontier has a bridge program that if you are a diploma nurse then you can enter a bridge program - If I would have know I would have saved over $10,000 this past year. Hope this helps:) Jaime
